day that he was entirely satisfied to have
Judge Taylor try the case, and that the
only matter of doubt in his decision must
be the measure of damages allowed.
Colonel w. w. Dudley, ex-Commissioner
of Pensions, was in the city yesterday. He
said the Republicans of Indiana would
surely nominate Colonel Robertson for
Governor without any effort of his, and
that meant the Republicans would carry
the State by 10000 majority. Speaking in
the same estate strain, Colonel Dudley
said that the colonization of the manu-
featuring centers of the South, and the
march of Northern ideas there, might be
expected to break the Democratic unity of
that portion OF the country. Colonel
Dudley was en- route to st. Paul and Min
neapolis where he will endeavor to put in
plants of electric cable street cars, in
which business and their patents he is
largely interested.

VIII Seek Pardon From the Governor.

Fort WAYNE, May S.-Petitions to Gov
ernor Gray will shortly be presented by
Fort Wayne friends for the pardon of 10.
seph Wall and Waldo Durham, convicted
of murder in the Allen Criminal Circuit
Court and now serving life sentences at
the northern Indiana penitentiary.
Wall is negro over seventy years of age,
and has served nearly eleven years of his
sentence. In July, 1875, he occupied the
lower floor of an Isolated frame house at
the eastern limits of the city. Morgan
Cronkhite and wife occupied the floor
above. Wall had annoyed them by sing
ing and praying until q very late hour.
On the night of the murder the negro was
unusually noisy, and Cronkhite called to
him from the head of the stairs, asking
him to be quiet. Wall walked upstairs
with a navy revolver and an open knife in
his hand, and, after knocking Cronkhite
down with the butt of the revolver, slashed
his bowels open with his knife. The in
juTed man died in short time. Wall was
tried, found guilty, and was sentenced to
be hung, and preparations were made for
his execution, when the prisoner was
granted a new trial and ultimately re-
ceived a life sentence.
Waldo Durham, with Perry Tracey, were
the principals ia the murder of John
O'Brien, drunken laborer whom they
first robbed and then tunbled into the old
canal to drown. This crime was commit
ted ten years ago, and Tracey has since
died in,prison. The evidence against Dun
ham was not so direct as to produce a gen.
eral conviction that he was guilty, and an
agreement was made by the Judge, Hon.
James w. Borden, and the Prosecutor,
Hon. S. NJ. Hench, to seek his pardon after
he had served eight years. Since then
Judge Borden has died, but Judge Hench
is active in the efforts making for Dun

Down into n Ravine.

A terrible wreck occurred OH the Bal
timore & Ohio Railroad near bridge No.
p, OH the Cranberry grade last Satur-
day. The ill-fated train was composed
OF five express cars and one emigrant
passenger coach filled with Scotch emf
grants. According to the statement of
the engineer. the train became unman-
ageable at Rodemer's, about two miles
above where the wreck occurred, on
account of the air-brakes refusing to act,
and as it descended the grade its speed
increased so rapidly that when the train
reached the place where the cars left
the track it was running at the rate of
seventy-five or eighty miles an hour.
The tender of the engine first left the
track, and, after dragging over the cross
ties and ballast for a hundred yards,
plunged down the embankment into the
ravine, along which the road runs, one
hundred feet deep. The fourth and
fifth express cars pitched over the bank
into the chasm below. The expires;
messengers, when they found that the
train was running away, left their cars
and went into the emigrant coach,
which was turned on its side on the
south track. A. w. Cooper, brake
man, was riding between the second
and third cars, and when the trainmcn,
after the first shock was over, began to
look around for each other, they found
his mangled body under the trucks of
the third car. He was crushed beyond
all recognition, and as soon as help
arrived his remains were placed in box
and sent to his home in Keyser, w. Va.
William Virts, brakeman also Of Key
ser, was slightly bruised. When the
cars left the track and rolled down the
bank they were mashed into kindling
wood, and the packages they contained
were ruined. Goods of all kinds lay in
a confused mass at the bottom and down
the side of the ravine. The loss will be
very heavy, although the road officials
are making every effort to save the goods.
Fortunately the emigrant car remained
on the track and its occupants were un-
hurt.

West Virginia Notes.

A farmer named Corner, Of Roane
county, w. Va, has invented a new
plan to catch squirrels, which has
proven great success. He has large
cornfield which borders oil the woods,
and which the squirrels have almost de
vastated during the past season. Hav-
ing hit upon q plan, he first watched
the animals, and found that when they
had made raid and retired they re
treated to The woods almost invariably
along one particular line of fence. Hav-
ing learned this fact, Corner covered
the top rails of that line Of fence with
tar, putting on II heavy coat. This he
die in the evening. aud in the morning
when he went to the field he saw
long line of squirrels running along the
fence toward the woods. They succeeded
i'm clearing the fence, but when they
struck the woods the leaves aud sticks
stuck to their feet so badly that they
could not climb the trees nor run very
far even OH the leaves. The first cap
ture amounted to twenty-seven SPUR.
rels, and within a week Corner had
killed and captured over one hundred
squirrels by his unique device.
A syndicate composed of wealthy cit
liens of Taylor and Preston counties
have purchased the Kingwood Railroad
which is now in course Of construction
from Kingwood to Tunnelton, where
it will connect with the Baltimore &
Ohio. The Kingwood Railroad Compa-
ny graded the entire road, built all the
trestles and put all the crossties on the
ground. For some cause operations
ceased year ago, and it looked as If the
road would not be completed. The COM
pany tried to make arrangements with
the Baltimore & Ohio to assume control
and complete the road, but no under
standing was reached. Similar efforts
in other directions failed also. The
company has executed mortgage to
the syndicate for s25 1000, and has also
issued to the same $25 900 of the origi-
nal stock Of the road. The new man
agement agrees to complete the road
and furnish the rolling stock and nee
essary equipment by November, 1887.
The syndicate will then operate the road
and whenever the receipts from the
operations fail to pay the interest on the
money advanced, the road may be sold
out under the terms of the mortgage.
The mortgage covers the entire road
and includes all its franchises. 1t eX

distance of ten miles, and is underlaid

Useful and Hurtful Medicines.

There Is n certain class of remedies for con-
stipatlon absolutely useless. There are boluses
and potions made in great part OF podophyl-
lin, aloes, rhubarb, gamboge, and other worth
less ingredients. The damage they do to the
stomachs OF those who use them Is incalcula-
BILE. They evacuate the bowels, 1t is true, but
always do so violently and profusely, and be-
sides, grippe the bowels. Their effect is 10
weaken both them and the stomach. Better
far to use the agreeable and salutary aperient,
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, the laxative
effect of which is never preceded by pain, or
accompanied by a convulsive, violent action
ofthe bowels On the contrary, Ii invigorates
those organs, the stomach and the entire sys-
TEN. AS a means of curing and preventing
malarial fevers, no medicine can compare
with 1t, and 1t remedies nervous debility,
rheumatism, kidney and bladder inactivity,
and other inorganic ailments.

Pertinent Questions.

Isn't it a great mistake for farmers to
crowd all their stock, farming imple-
ments, provender and grain in the barns,
so that if the barn takes fire the flames
destroy everything at one full swoop?
Wouldn't it be better to have hay straw
and fodder under barracks at safe dis
lance from the buildings? And would
it not be better to have horses and cattle
housed in stable separate from the
barn? In word, is 1t prudent and
economical to build large and costly
barns and store them with the most i'm
flammable material, so that the struct-
ure and contents may be reduced TO
ashes. In view Of the many heavy losses
sustained by farmers by fires, this is a
matter worthy Of consideration.

Patent Medicines.

What are they? As general thing
they are prescriptions having been used
with great success by old and well-read
Physicians. Thousands of invaiids have
been Unexpectedly cured BY their use,
and they are the wonder and dread of
Physicians and Medical Colleges in the
l.. S., so much so, that Physicians grad
uating at Medical Colleges are required
to dscountenance Proprietary Medi-
cines, as through them the country doc
tor loses his most profitable practice.
AS manufacturer of Proprietary Medi-
cines, DR.. G. G.. Green Of Woodbury., n.
j., advocates most cordially,-in order
to prevent the risk that the sick and
afflicted are liable to, almost daily by
the use of Patent Medicines put out by
inexperienced persons for aggrandizc-
ment only, and the employing of mex
perienced and incompetent doctors by
which almost every village and town is
cursed; and men claiming to be doctors
who had better be nndertakers, expert
menting with their patients and robbing
them of their money and health, for
the good of the afflicted that our govern
ment protect its people by making laws
to regulate the practice of medicine by
better experienced and more thorough
" educated Physicians, and thereby
keep up the honor and credit of the pro-
fession, also form laws for the recording
of recipes of Proprietary Medicines,
under examination and decision of eX-
perienced Chemists and Physicians APP
pointed for that purpose by the Govern
ment, before they are licensed for gen.
eral use. He would most freely place
the recipe of Boschee's German Syrup
and Green's August Flower under such
laws, had he the proper protection, and
thereby save the prejudice of the people,
and avoid the competition and imitation

been laid off even. Big Stone Gap is
the name of this remarkable place. 1t
is great gap in the range of mountains
dividing southwest Virginia and East
